Haley James Scott was mad. No, mad didn't describe the feeling she had. She was more like livid. She was so furious that she felt her eyes would turn red. As she approached the apartment that she shared with Brooke, she opened the door, marched inside and threw an envelope containing 6 pink detention slips given by Coach Whitey, on the coffee table. She then went to her and Brooke's room and slammed the door behind her, making sure it was locked. She was so irritated that Whitey had given her so many detentions that she threw herself on her bed and screamed into her pillow. She heard a soft knocking on her door, but when she didn't open it, it went away. She knew that he was trying to help her and Nathan get back together, but this was down right ridiculous. It's not like Nathan ever talked to her during the torturous hour after school. He has said maybe like ten words to her this entire time. What has she ever done to make the whole world hate her? Oh ya, she followed her dream and it came back to bite her in the butt. She adjusted her body so that she was lying on her left side and rested her tired head on her soft pillow. Her eyelids soon became heavy and she drifted off to sleep.
She was carried to another place in her dreams. She was on the beach and Nathan was next to her, smiling. She smiled back at him lovingly. They walked on the shore together, holding hands and talking about how much they loved each other. She looked down and noticed that she was wearing her wedding dress. When she looked back up at Nathan, She found Chris Keller standing next to herinstead.
Haley opened her eyes waking up from her terrible nightmare. Her mouth was dry and her face was hot. She got up from her bed, went into the bathroom and splashed some cold water on her face. It was only a nightmare. She kept telling herself. She next walked into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of orange juice. She looked at the clock which read 5:15pm. She hadn't been asleep for very long.
"Hi Rommie!" A chirpy voice said behind her, causing Haley to jump.
"Brooke you scared me. I didn't know you were here." Haley said in a tired voice.
"Hum, well I did knock on our bedroom door like 2 hours ago but you brutally ignored me, so I left."
"Oh sorry about that; I was really mad earlier." Haley said as she and Brooke sat down on their sofa.
"Its ok, I understand. A lot of people get mad at me when they find out that a coach unfairly gave them like a billion detentions."
"A lot of people? Name one person besides me." Haley said before taking a sip of her juice.
"Nathan." Brooke said.
"Nathan? When did he get mad at you?" Haley said confused.
"Today after school when I gave him a letter from Whitey." Brooke said.
"You saw him after school today?" Haley asked sadly.
"Ya, but he was in a really bad mood. I guess he didn't like getting 5 detentions from Whitey for…well I really don't know what he got them for."
"Oh." Haley said staring down at her glass cup.
"Oh Haley, don't be sad. Like I said before, he willcome around, eventually. He just needs time that's all." Brooke said sympathetically, putting her hand on Haley's shoulder.
"But what if he doesn't? What if Nathan never wants to be with me?" Haley asked as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Oh Hun, don't think like that. Nathan loves you so much. Last year, whenever you guys were together, I used to feel nauseated by all of you guy's lovey doviness. Just think positive, do anything you can to win him back and by no time you two will be together again, baby and all."
"Brooke, like I told you junior year, we aren't having a baby."
"Whatever. Anyways, the main point is don't give up."
"I won't. It's just really hard to have faith when Nathan tells me that he wants a divorce."
"He asked you for one?"
"Not exactly. He told me that he looked into getting one. He said that we have to be separated for a year to qualify. He told me that he didn't know if we would be together again. God Brooke, I just don't want to lose him."
"Oh come here." Brooke said pulling Haley into a hug.
"Everything will be ok Haley, I promise.
Just then the phone started to ring.
"I'll get it." Haley said slowly getting off of the sofa and answering the phone.
"Hello?" Haley said.
"Um Haley, It's Nathan." Nathan said on the other line.
"Oh Nathan, Hi." Haley said looking at Brooke who let out a little squeal and ran to the other phone to listen to the conversation.
"I was wondering if you could meet me at the River Court at like 7:30 tonight." Nathan asked.
"Ya, Sure I'll be there." Haley said smiling into the phone.
"Ok, um I'll see you then." Nathan said.
"Ok, bye." Haley said before hanging up the phone.
"Bye." Nathan said pressing the end button on his cell.
"Maybe there is hope after all." Haley said to herself, walking back to their room to find out whereBrooke had gone.
A/N Hi everyone! I hope you liked it. R and R.
